Joanmarie Peranteau Poet Romanticism

He Is Not You

He says the words to me
 I long for you to say

He does the things for me
 I long for you to do

He feels for me the way
 I long for you to feel

From the depths of my soul
oh how I wish he were you

Richard Lamoureux December 6, 2012 at 2:16 PM Very powerful, why is it that the person we desire is so different from the person we need them to be?? Still we are inexplicably attracted to them. Joanmarie Peranteau December 6, 2012 at 5:19 PM Thank you. I know, but that's the way the story goes though alot of times in life.
